| الوصف: | Dual-comb spectroscopy is a powerful technique to measure optical spectra in a wide spectral range with high-frequency resolution. The development of compact systems operating in the long-wave infrared wavelength range is of high interest for spectroscopic and sensing applications. Amongst the different techniques to obtain optical frequency-combs, electro-optic frequency-comb generation presents major advantages thanks to the tunable repetition rate only limited by the bandwidth of the used electro-optical modulator. However, the development of integrated and efficient electro-optical modulators operating in a wide long-wave infrared spectral band is still at its infancy, and electro-optical frequency-comb has not been demonstrated so far beyond the telecom band. In this work, a Schottky-based modulator embedded in a Ge-rich graded SiGe waveguide is used for electro-optic frequency-comb generation. Considering the limited efficiency of the modulator, harmonically-rich RF signals are used to enhance the generation of comb lines around the optical carrier. Interestingly, this allows us to demonstrate the generation of electro-optical combs spanning over 2.4 GHz around 8 {\mu}m wavelength. This paves the way towards fully integrated and tunable mid-infrared electro-optic frequency-comb generation systems. Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures |
